Lombard Plasma Plate Burning Services
What Can we do for you?
Suburban Welding & Steel is your number one choice for plasma plate burning services in Lombard. We work closely with each client to deliver the best results, quality, and customer experience possible.
Every project has unique needs, and our team strives to deliver exactly what you need. We discuss the project in detail. To define needs, requirements, and tolerances. From there, we begin production and perform thorough quality checks from beginning to end.
What you get is a perfectly manufactured part or component for your project.
What can Plasma Plate Burning Produce?
The plasma plate burning process can make components from sheet metal or similar materials.
With a design in hand, we create a 3D model that matches specifications. We convert this design into computer code that we use in the CNC machining process. That design determines what is made.
So, this process can produce a variety of components. They can be highly specific, specialized parts or something more common. Like a part that needs multiple versions of the same component.
It is an efficient process to manufacture parts en masse.

The Process
As mentioned above, the process begins with a definition of the goal and function of the part. With this information, we create a model using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software. We convert this design into a language the CNC machine can understand, something like G-Code.
With the instructions, a CNC machine precisely cuts the metal into the desired shape. The computerized component ensures that each part is cut within tolerance for a perfect component.
Once the machine finishes the cutting process, our team ensures the part meets our quality standards. We measure the parts against the scope and inspect them for any defects.
How Does Plasma Plate Burning Work?
The machine itself comprises a few key components. The computer, the operating arm, and the plasma torch. In unison, the components work together to cut the workpiece defined by the design.
The Computer
You can consider the computer as the brains of the operation. It takes the design’s code and provides the rest of the machine with instructions. It maps the path, direction, and overall operation of the arm.
The Operating Arm
The arm is the portion of the machine that moves around the cutting space. Based on instructions from the computer, it knows where it needs to move to make an accurate cut. Following the computer’s instructions, it performs all the required movements over the workpiece.
The Torch
While the other parts of the machine are critical in the CNC operation, the torch is the part responsible for the cutting of the metal. Guided by the arm and computer, the plasma torch performs all the cuts across the metal. While it is the most static portion of the process, it is arguably the most important.
Benefits of using Plasma Plate Burning
There are several benefits to using plasma plate burning over other methods of production. While a plasma cut may not offer the same level of precision, it makes up in other ways.
Cost is one benefit plasma plate burning offers. Compared to a CNC laser, plasma can perform jobs at less cost. The machine itself operates similarly, but it is more economical to use.
For jobs that do not require high-precision, plasma cutting is just as favorable. Plasma methods can achieve parts that need to be within a certain tolerance. This is especially suitable for components that need welding or after-production work.
